When Your Lover Has Gone

For ages and ages     the poets and sages Of      love won d’rous love      always sing    But ask any lover and    you’ll soon discover    The heartaches that romance can bring    What good is the scheming the planning and dreaming          That  comes with each new      love affair      The love that you cherish so        often might perish       And leaves you with castles        in air Chorus When  you’re alone         who cares for starlit skies When you’re      alone       the magic moonlight dies At break of   dawn there is no sunrise      when your lover has gone                              What lonely hours       the evening shadows bring What lonely       hours       with mem’ries lingering Like faded flow’rs       life can’t mean  anything When your lover has      gone            When  you’re alone         who cares for starlit skies When you’re      alone       the magic moonlight dies At break of   dawn there is no sunrise       when your lover has gone                             What lonely hours       the evening shadows bring What lonely       hours       with memories lingering Like faded flow’rs       life can’t mean  anything When your lover has      gone
